Sleepwalking

Trapped in a nightmare that appears to be real

Awaken from the delusion of The New Deal

Conscious rhetoric falls off my lips

Unaware that I’m the Zombie in the civil apocalypse

Riding on that bus to reform the NRA

Guns and control I’m prompted to say

Lynching without rope, branch, or tree

Uniformed killers riding free

Hebrew ancestors, the identity I claim

Messianic, Orthodoxism, tribal distain

Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Greek philosophy

Yet, Tuthmosis III, Manetho, Iknaton mean nothing to me   

Going to the polls to vote for education

Economic robbery, governmental retardation

Third grade decision, High School attritions  

Judges, court rooms, judicial ammunition

Political puppet, no need for strings

Hypnotic melodies the church choir sings

European theology my preacher talking

All in this nightmare, I’m still sleepwalking
